Education

The Greater Springfield education system aims to provide an inclusive and innovative learning environment that prepares students for the challenges of the 21st century workforce and helps them achieve their full potential. The region has a diverse range of educational institutions, including state, independent, and Catholic schools along with the fast developing and highly innovative Education City.

Education City is a large-scale project that aims to create an innovative education and research hub that will cater to students from kindergarten to tertiary level, as well as researchers and industry professionals.

The development of Education City is a long-term project, and there have been several milestones achieved since the project was first announced in 2017. For example, in 2019, the Queensland Government announced that it had allocated $15 million in funding for the development of the Springfield University Hospital, which will be part of Education City.

In addition to traditional schooling, Education City brings several vocational education and training institutions, such as TAFE Queensland, The University of Southern Queensland, The Union Institute of Language and The Studio of Performing Arts.

Overall, Education City is expected to bring significant economic and social benefits to the Greater Springfield area and has generated a lot of interest from educational institutions, researchers, and industry leaders.

Health City Springfield Central serves as the central hub for health and wellness in the Greater Springfield area, and is dedicated to promoting a healthy lifestyle for the community.

Dan Holmes

Since launching his career, Dan has continued to make an impression in the local Real Estate world as he strives to be the highest-rated agent throughout the region. “I enjoy the process, I love working in this community, and I’m driven by client satisfaction”

Coming from a trade background and growing up in a small country town west of Toowoomba, the point of difference has always been personality, and his primary focus has been branding away from that stereotypical agent. “Building local relationships is the foundation of our success. Whether it be through property management, sales or community involvement, we value those relationships above everything else”

In such a short amount of time, Dan has already achieved so much. Rapidly progressing into the role of Operations Manager for the NGU Real Estate Greater Springfield office, Dan now brings his wealth of knowledge and experience across every aspect of the real estate sector.

The hard work and dedication to his clients haven’t gone unnoticed, with Dan receiving a nomination as one of Queensland’s best new agents when he was short-listed for the Rising Star Award by Rate My Agent.

It’s beyond exciting to think about what is still to come!

Prepare For Your Photo Shoot

LIVING AREAS

The most important areas of any home to show off are the living spaces. Displaying a great flow to the house will help potential buyers imagine themselves living there. Think about furniture placement and if there can be any improvements made, and be sure no furniture is blocking any high traffic areas. Open all blinds and curtains to let as much light into the rooms as possible. Remove all clutter, including tissue boxes, remote controls, and as many personal items as possible. Floors should be swept and carpets vacuumed. Fluff the couch cushions and hide all children’s toys.

KITCHEN & DINING

Start by ensuring cabinet and oven doors are clean and all finger marks are removed, these tend to show up very easily in photographs. Wipe down counter tops and put all small appliances in cabinets. Remove magnets and photos from fridge doors, hide any sponges, soap, dispensers, dirty dishes, dish strainers, bins & brooms. Don’t forget to remove items from on top of the fridge or any overhead cabinets. Hide any floor coverings, straighten taps and finally, set the dining table with a setting to compliment the home. A bottle of wine with some glasses can also be a nice touch.

BEDROOMS

Make all beds and hide or organise children’s toys. All floors should be vacuumed or swept. Hide any tissue boxes, personal items, excessive photos, remote controls, alarm clocks and phone charges. Remove any clutter from on top of dressers, check that all drawers close correctly, and wipe down any mirrored surfaces including wardrobe doors. Ensure all lamps have working bulbs and are plugged in and turned on for the photo-shoot. It is important that these and all other rooms in the house look comfortable and inviting.

34

BATHROOMS

Hide all toiletries including soap dispensers, tooth brushes and cosmetics, as well as any items in the shower area. Wipe down counter tops and remove any floor mats as well as bathroom scales. Place clean folded towels in their normal areas. If any visible area is dirty please clean, paying particular attention to shower screens as these show up in photos very easily. Adding a touch of green such as a plant to a bathroom is always encouraged. If your bathroom has a bathtub, a great addition is a bath caddy with complimentary items such as a book, candles or even a glass of champagne!

EXTERIOR

Have all lawns at a presentable level, however a fresh cut is not necessary. Give a good sweep to any concrete or paved areas, cleaning any leaves and garden debris. Roll up and hide any hoses and gardening equipment. Set up any outdoor furniture and present well with cushions, table dressings and if you have a clean presentable barbeque, remove the cover and show it off. Pools should be clean with any toys and creepy crawlers removed and hidden away. Make sure to hide all bins either inside the garage or on the street as far from the home as possible.

FINALLY

Right before your photo shoot with us, make sure all interior and exterior lights are switched on, blinds and curtains are open and ceiling fans are off and clean in any rooms that will be photographed. If light bulbs are out in any rooms, please replace all that can be reached safely. As much as we love all animals, please have any pets restrained or kept in an area that will not be photographed which will allow us to move through your home quickly. Please remove all cars from the driveway and don’t park in front of the house.

Get Your House Ready For Sale With My 5 Tips!

01

Finish Projects & Repair

Before any cleaning or sprucing up can happen make now the time to complete any home improvement projects you have under way as well as making any and all necessary repairs to your home. The less buyers can pick on, the quicker and smoother the sales process will be.

02

Fresh Paint & Carpets

Re-painting loud coloured walls or simply re-painting what’s already there allows buyers to focus on the spaces. Many buyers want to see a blank canvas of neutral colours where they can form their own ideas on what they can do. The same goes with carpet, remove any old or worn carpets and replace with nice neutral colours.

03

Clean & Declutter

A spotless home will allow buyers to focus on what they could do with the space rather than picking at dirty areas. Decluttering and cleaning are one of the most important jobs to do plus it makes your move easier by beginning the packing up process now. 04 Street

Appeal

First impressions are everything, match the interior to the exterior. Make buyers want to come inside, set the right tone before they even step through the front door. The outdoor space is just as important.

05

Get Advice from an Agent

An agent is the last step that needs to be undertaken to get your house ready for sale. They will be able to give you any insights and tips that may have been missed. They can also give you an up to date appraisal on the property and can also run through the best way to market it to achieve the maximum sale price in the current market.
